THREE:So time passed till within a week of polling day. The feeling in the district grew more and more tenseno prominent member of either party could appear in Rye streets without being insulted by somebody on the opposite side.

For the first time it looked as if a Conservative would be returned for Rye, and the Colonel knew he owed his success to Backfield's agricultural party.Her delight in him never seemed to fail.

He once told her that he was nearly fifty, but she had answered with a happy laugh that she did not like boys.
